Mike,
Wish it did. I manually register it with in a Command Window run as Administrator and get the message stating it was successful. Yet, still not entries in the registry.

Subject: Re: ActiveX control refuses to register
Tracy,
Just a WAG, but I ran into a "Silent Failure" of Regsvr32 the other day
on a Win10 Pro system. I would run
regsvr32 /s thecontrol.ocx
from within my application's folder where the OCX files were
located...then when my app tried to use the controls, it would throw an
error.
I got it to work by adding the explicit path of the OCX control to the
command line.
In other words
regsvr32 /s "c:\myprogram\thecontrol.ocx"
worked.
Go figure. Hope this helps.
